Hey Michael,
Yes, I made sure the cache was flushed on the machine I was working on. I
then went and turned ON a machine that has been off since I started messing
with this, and that PC had he same results. Anything to
"hombregolfacademy.com" is resolved to my external IP address even though
the forwarder is set to resolve to my internal private IP for the webserver.
Can't figure this out to save my life.
Frustrating...
Not new to m0n0 or DNS forwarding either. Wierd...
